New teaser trailer for ‘Shin Ultraman’ (Higuchi, Anno)
- Thread starter Sibersk Esto
- Start date
Yo this looks incredible and after Shin Godzilla Anno has my money. I wonder what route he's going with this film as Shin Godzilla was as much a overt criticism of the Japanese government as it was a monster movie. I'm not expecting anything so straight forward as the American monsterverse films but not sure what angle Anno will lean into with this film.
Looks interesting so far, and yes it looks very similar to Shin Godzilla
Again please watch Shin Godzilla everyone

Gonna be lit. Love the idea of not reimagining the kaiju with realistic CG, and instead making them look like CG suits. All I want from this movie now is Baltan.
Now that's a kaiju! None of this modern "My imagination stops at the animals I've seen at the zoo" reworking bullshit.
Strange Beast. STRANGE. And they made them even weirder than they originally looked. I love it!

It is a Toho co-production, so it's actually possible. I don't think they'll take that route though.
I'm ALL IN on Anno's live action reskins of Evangelion
But please, no more english speaking Japanese characters. My ears can't handle it

I'm fairly certain Anno has said Shin Godzilla is its own sister
I believe Anno said Shin Godzilla was its own thing and he wouldn't be making any sequels or anything... then again its Anno so who knows.

Anno finally gets to make the Ultraman film he's always dreamed of. I wish I could be a little more skeptical and keep my expectations reasonable but I've got total confidence in him to make something spectacular.
This. Really, it's absolutely worth your time if you haven't.
My son already let me know abiut this one. Dude is a hardcore ultra fan.
Looks like Neronga and Kemura. Surprised no Bemular since he was the first kaiju to fight.

I believe that "look" with the CGI is intentionally. Its sort of their take on man in suit from the older movies in that its not supposed to be going for full on realism.
Give Anno an MCU movie!
I'll take rubber suits and miniature work any day of the week!
That said, the bigger budget epsidoes of the modern shows do tend to look pretty cool- those episodes tend to have much flashier attacks and pyrotechnics galore.

Hoping we get one of those "what's that on godzilla's tail? Oh. Hm." moments in this movie too.
Loved Shin, the cg looks deliciously bad, but that would never stop me from watching this. Curious if we'll get more music almost lifted from Eva.

Looks awesome but slightly less hyped knowing that Anno isn't directing, only producing and writing. Didn't particularly care for this director's AoT adaptations

Hmm, guess I'll keep my hype in check. Still excited though.
Holy hell, Higuchi and Anno are at it again. Maybe with a little luck we could see this as the start of a Shin cinematic universe.
Just saying, I wanna see Shin Ghidorah, whatever nightmare that would look like.

Personally would prefer Shin Rodan. The first half with Anno-ized insects would be pure horror; local miners versus corporate bureaucracy would fit his approach so well

Very happy Anno got to fulfill his loop. Interested to see if Shiro Sagisu is going to do the soundtrack they pair so well together. Shin Godzilla and the Eva movie soundtracks are constantly in my late night drawing playlist.
As someone who never grew up with Ultraman and after watched Ultraman 3D animation series on Netflix, I have to say that that OG design's face reminds me of the derpy Polite Cat.
Technically, Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad was part of my childhood which, IIRC was derived from Ultraman.

Ultraman looked a little unsettling there and it intrigues me. Never consumed anything Ultraman tbh.
He's basically a predecessor to stuff like Power Rangers though usually played more straight.
Have you seen Shin Godzilla?
You know Higuchi was co-director on Godzilla, right?
On a production level it's true, but the whole story set up is fairly different (or at least was for the older shows). In the classic Ultraman story, there isn't some kind of evil empire sending random monsters every week.
Each episode is basically a standalone sci-fi or fantasy story, with the only connections between them being that a special organization investigates the incident and that eventually leads to some kind of giant monster which can't be taken down even by their special tech, leading to Ultraman's appearance (who is generally secretly one of the team members) to resolve the story. Due to that they often could go heavy on themes, like humanity disturbing nature and creating their own problems or intolerance leading to conflict. That said, it was a weekly show, so some of the plots could be goofy (even disregarding the goofyness from the practical effects). Based on what Anno has talked about though, he seemed to enjoy more the otherworldly aspects of the Ultras so this certainly will take the material seriously.
